<p><font size="3"><b>MultiPlayer Games</b></font></p>
<p>Solar Vengeance can be played in MultiPlayer mode with other Star Lords over 
the internet.&nbsp; To connect, click the &quot;PrismServer Login&quot; button.&nbsp; You 
will be asked to enter your login credentials, or to create a new user if it's 
the first time you've connected.&nbsp; In the login screen, you can also select 
the PrismServer game server to connect to.&nbsp; A list of available active 
servers is maintained there:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.siliconcommandergames.com/PrismServers.htm">
http://www.siliconcommandergames.com/PrismServers.htm</a></p>
<p>Once you have entered the PrismServer Lobby, you can create a New Game where 
you specify the number of players.&nbsp; Or, you can join a game that someone 
else has created.&nbsp; Once the required number of players has joined the game, 
it will commence.<br>
<br>
<font color="#FFFF00"><b>Approved Scenarios</b></font></p>
<p>PrismServer maintains a list of approved <a href="Scenarios.htm">Scenarios</a> for MultiPlayer games.&nbsp; 
The source code for the approved Scenarios is sent to the game clients by the 
server, and the local source code version is not used.&nbsp; This security 
measure removes the possibility of someone modifying the Scenario code to gain 
an unfair advantage in the game, or worse, to inject malicious code into 
unsuspecting opponents.</p>
<p>It is also possible to play MultiPlayer games with non-approved Scenarios.&nbsp; 
Players joining such a game are provided a warning that they must accept in 
order to join the game.&nbsp; Only join such a game hosted by someone you trust!</p>
<p><font color="#FFFF00"><b>Approved Brains</b></font></p>
<p>PrismServer also maintains approved Brains, which are computer AI opponents.&nbsp; 
You can include Brains in MultiPlayer games, but are restricted to using only 
the approved Brains available from the PrismServer.</p>
<p><font color="#FFFF00"><b>Star Lord Rankings</b></font></p>
<p>Star Lords are rated and ranked as they complete MultiPlayer games.&nbsp; You 
gain points as you defeat other Star Lords, and lose points when you are 
defeated.&nbsp; Try to beat Star Lords with a higher rating than you to gain 
more points.&nbsp; Games where you defeat only Brain opponents are not 
considered for ranking adjustment.&nbsp; Visit the
<a href="http://www.siliconcommandergames.com/">Silicon Commander Games web site</a> 
to view the current Star Lord Rankings.</p>
<p><font color="#FFFF00"><b>MultiPlayer Game Log</b></font></p>
<p>MultiPlayer games are logged by PrismServer.&nbsp; Visit the
<a href="http://www.siliconcommandergames.com/">Silicon Commander Games web site</a> 
to see the MultiPlayer Game Log.</p>
<p><font color="#FFFF00"><b>Brain Rankings</b></font></p>
<p>A Brain is a computer AI opponent.&nbsp; Solar Vengeance 5 comes with a 
number of Brains, but programmers can develop their own and submit them for 
inclusion in the approved Brain list.&nbsp; Brains are .NET classes that descend 
from a common base class (Brain), and are programmed in the C# language.</p>
<p>Click the &quot;Brain Duel&quot; button in the PrismServer Lobby to run a Brain Duel.&nbsp; 
This sets up a series of matches that pit each approved Brain against the other, 
one by one.&nbsp; Brain Duels are run in the MirrorImage Scenario, which sets up 
a fair and equal playing field.</p>
<p>You will not see the actual duel progress on the map, but the matches instead 
run through very quickly.&nbsp; At the end of the matches, the results are 
submitted to Silicon Commander Games, and then displayed to you.</p>
<p>These results help build up our Brain Rankings page, which is available from 
the <a href="http://www.siliconcommandergames.com/">Silicon Commander Games</a> 
web site.&nbsp; This Ranking helps players determine which Brains are strongest.</p>
<p><font color="#FFFF00"><b>Hosting a PrismServer</b></font></p>
<p>Silicon Commander Games offers its PrismServer as open-source freeware so you 
can host your own server.&nbsp; Visit the
<a href="http://www.siliconcommandergames.com/PrismServers.htm">List of Active 
PrismServers</a> page for details.</p>
